Synopsis
For the first time since the film's 1984 release, This is Spinal Tap's director, writer, and star Rob Reiner will, along with his co-stars and co-writers Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, finally tell in full the behind-the-scenes story of the legendary mockumentary credited as the pioneer of the genre. From the most famous improvised lines to the composition of songs about Stonehenge and big bottoms, no topic is off limits in this rollicking, detailed deep-dive into the film's writing, production, release, and long-term legacy.
Featuring never-before-seen photographs, collaboration from Reiner's co-stars and co-writers, and hilarious stories of the film's mayhem, The Making of This is Spinal Tap will have readers – young and old, fans or non-fans alike – feeling like they are in the writer's room crafting and filming one of the greatest movie comedies ever made.
